The nice people at Ruth Bean explained clearly that whilst there was no chance of them reprinting it at this time it was still illegal to copy it just because there was no chance of buying it. Yes, this seems terribly hard but it's the current law. According to the Copyright Handbook by Stephen Fishman, with deals with US Copyright law: Fair use of out of print works The drafters of the Copyright Act and the Supreme Court have suggested that a user may have more justification for reproducing a work without permission if it is out of print and unavailable for purchase through normal channels. (Harper & Row v. Nation Enterprises, 471 U.S. 539 (1985).) Thus, most courts give users more leeway when they quote from or photocopy out-of-print works. But this does not mean that any amount of material from out-of-print works may be used without permission. - To unsubscribe send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] containing the line: unsubscribe lace [EMAIL PROTECTED] For help, write to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
